I'm not even sure if this is the right thread to be posting this in. However, here's my problem. I have zero friends. I am not a social outcast, relatively attractive, funny, talkative I enjoy social activities. I do have some slight social anxiety and sometimes am hesitant to talk to new people, engage in small talk, think people are scrutinizing me.. I have gone through several cycles of friendships in my life with none of them really "sticking around". I do try to re-engage with old friends through social media etc. and not much happens and when it does I feel unsatisfied like that is why I haven't been talking to that person..oh right! Or people I actually want to reconnect with never have the time or make an effort in our friendship. Is humanity this sad and uninterested in friendships? I am at a point where I need to get out of the house and hang out with people my own age again. I live with my boyfriend and he is aware of my issues, but he is also quiet and doesn't have many friends either. Literally all we do is go out to a movie occasionally. I am still young and I feel like an old person. My question is am I crazy, do I repel people so strongly that they never want to talk to me again? Am I so boring that I never make an impression? Any help would be awesome.
